Dongmei shook her right hand which was slightly numb from the beatings. She had used all her strength in those dozen or so slaps, causing Chen Ping's small face, which was originally the size of a palm, to swell up.
Dongmei said in a bad tone, "Do you think you can make up the story about the palace? If you say another disrespectful word about the palace, it will not just be a slap in the face."
As she spoke, she raised her right hand and looked at her with raised eyebrows, full of threats.
Chen Ping shrank back twice. Although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to say anything more.
But now she is at the mercy of others and can only express her dissatisfaction with an angry look. She dare not easily challenge Qiao Si, after all, she really can do it.
Young ladies who are raised in seclusion see the most the jealous tricks that happen in the mansions.
I've never seen such a simple and crude way of handling things.
After a loud scolding, he can calm down and listen to others.
Qiao Si was very satisfied seeing how "obedient" she was.
"Wouldn't it have been much easier if you had just been quiet earlier? It's really troublesome to have to trouble me to wait for you for so long. Right, sister?"
Qiao Nai would never lose face for Qiao Si in front of outsiders, not to mention that this matter was done just to vent her anger.
So even when she handled it herself, she just wanted to give her a quick death and didn't want to torture her, but when she looked at Qiao Si's expression, she still smiled and agreed with her.
"Well done, sister."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a servant respectfully leading the way from the stairwell, as well as the sound of water dripping onto the floor.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Gu Hesheng, supported by the waiter of the tavern, slowly climbed up to the third floor step by step, one deep step and one shallow step.
He didn't even change his wet clothes. As soon as he came up, he was supported by the waiter and went straight to Qiao Nai.
As he limped along, he said excitedly, "Nana, I'm so glad you're okay."
Just as he was about three steps away, he saw Qiao Si quickly pick up the sword of the guard next to him and block his way, not letting him get any closer.
She gave him an impatient look, her tone full of disgust: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't get so close! What are you doing? If you have something to say, just stand there and say it. You're covered in mud and dirty water, I find it dirty."
Qiao Si's words were exaggerated, and Gu Hesheng thought he was in a terrible state. However, without a bronze mirror, he couldn't see. So he just accepted Qiao Si's words and stood there pitifully like a bullied young wife, staring at Qiao Nai with longing eyes.
In fact, there was only some mud on his face, hands and the corners of his clothes. He was not very dirty, at least not as foul smelling as Qiao Si said.
Qiao Nai glanced at him, not knowing what he was thinking, and ignored him.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk to him, Gu Hesheng tried to find a topic to talk about.
"Nana, how are you going to deal with Chen Ping?"
Qiao Si put away his sword and threw it back casually, seemingly inadvertently, but it landed steadily in the hands of the guard.
Zhang You suddenly understood.
Qiao Si's eyes were filled with condescending disdain. "Why are you calling me so affectionately? I remember that Master Gu is about to divorce my elder sister. It's better not to call me so affectionately, lest it delay other people's marriages."
Qiao Si always knew how to touch other people's pain points to make them angry.
Wei Qian's arrival yesterday caused Gu Hesheng to misunderstand.
The people of Dingzhou were saying that a handsome scholar came to the palace yesterday, bringing with him boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry. He must have come to propose marriage and give betrothal gifts!
What's more, a girl from the palace just divorced her ex-husband on the street, and now there is a wedding. If it's not this girl, who else could it be?
People speculated that the ex-husband had done something bad, which was why the princess divorced him and then found another husband.
When Gu Hesheng heard this gossip, he felt like the sky was falling.
He was eager to meet Qiao Si and get an answer.
So, he came to the palace early today, but unexpectedly he was stopped.
Fortunately, Qiao Nai agreed to meet him again.
However, he almost fell into Chen Ping's trap and almost caused Qiao Nai to be injured again.
He already felt a little guilty because it was his negligence that caused Qiao Nai to be in danger several times. If Qiao Si and Qiao Nai had not been prepared this time, she would have been implicated again.
This time he was dissed by Qiao Si again.
Qiao Nai, who was standing aside, just looked at his embarrassment with an expressionless face.
He just felt ashamed.
I want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
His robe was wet and felt like armor on his body, so heavy that he could hardly stand.
His calf already had a slight fracture, and now he could only lean awkwardly on the guy next to him to ease the burden.
The gazes of the people around him made him feel uneasy.
He let Qiao Nai down and was a heartless man.
And he now looks more like a complete waste.
His face, which had turned pale from falling into the water, now turned red, and his voice unconsciously lowered.
"Miss Qiao."
The sound was as thin as a mosquito's hum.
Qiao Nai withdrew his gaze from him without any expression, and turned to look at Chen Ping. His eyes gradually became cold, and every word he spoke was filled with hatred.
"Of course she has to pay the price she deserves."
Chen Ping looked at her with anger in her eyes.
Qiao Nai has always been humble in front of her. When will he ask her to look up at him and wait for her forgiveness?
She spat, stared back fiercely, a crazy laugh hanging on the corner of her mouth: "Hahahahahahahahaha, Qiao Nai, kill me if you have the guts!"
She seemed to have guessed that Qiao Nai was too soft-hearted to do it.
But at this moment, she looked at Chen Ping's provocation and just chuckled: "How could I let you die so easily? I will take back everything you did to me and to Ah Wu."
Perhaps it was because her image at the moment was very different from before. She no longer looked like a well-behaved and obedient lady, but was instead vindictive.
It was the first time that Gu Hesheng saw Qiao Nai like this. He was a little surprised for a moment, "How did you become like this?"
He looked at Qiao Nai in disbelief, as if the existence of his faith had collapsed.
The justice and weakness he thought of seemed to have changed at this moment and became domineering and unbridled.
His accusatory words made Qiao Si laugh and silenced Qiao Nai.
Only Chen Ping started yelling crazily, "Hahaha! She's always been like this! Everything is just an illusion! Hahahahaha! You deserve it!"
Qiao Si laughed so hard that her body shook, and she pretended to use a handkerchief to wipe away her non-existent tears.
"Gu Hesheng, how can you have the nerve to say this?
Is it your turn to judge my sister?
I won't lose anything by missing those two words of praise from you, will I?
Besides, aren't you aware of what Chen Ping did? Haven't your subordinates already told you everything?
What? Because they didn't actually kill my sister, all those plots and schemes can be brushed aside?
Hahahahahahahahaha.
"What kind of wonderful cousin are you? Act affectionate to me!"
